2.Barri Gòtic (Gothic quarter)
For 2,000 years, the Gothic Quarter has been the
spiritual and secular center of the city. Relics of
ancient Roman buildings are still found here, but the
Middle Ages are best represented by the historic
monuments packed into this quarter.
Mainly built between the 13th and 15th centuries, the
Catedral de la Santa Cruz y Santa Eulalia is the heart
of the Gothic Quarter. Surrounding the cathedral is a
maze of cobblestone streets and alleyways.
Tourists will enjoy wandering the narrow pedestrian
lanes, and stopping to discover the neighborhood's
quaint boutiques and restaurants. By getting lost
here, visitors become immersed in the magical
ambience of a traffic-free medieval world.
3.Casa Milà (La pedrera)
In the Eixample district off the elegant boulevard of
Passeig de Gràcia, the UNESCO-listed Casa Milà is
Antoni Gaudí's most famous secular building. Casa
Milà is also affectionately known as "La Pedrera,"
which translates to "The Stone Quarry" because the
building resembles an open quarry.
Built between 1906 and 1912, this flamboyant avant-
garde dwelling looks more like a sculpture than a
functional building. Every line of the natural stone
facade is curved, with rounded windows and metal
balcony railings twining around in plant-like
shapes.Even the roof has an undulating form,
complemented by the decorative chimneys.
